I want to insert a file directory diagram created by tree command using verbatim enviroment. But in the output document, only file names are kept, and the connection lines are disapeared. 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}
\begin{document}

\begin{Verbatim}
 .
 ├── app
 ├── bakery
 ├── build
 ├── CHANGELOG.md
 ├── composer.json
 ├── composer.lock
 ├── docker
 ├── sponsors
 ├── STYLE-GUIDE.md
 └── webserver-configs

 \end{Verbatim}

 \end{document}

I have tried using fancyvrb package by setting showtabs true, but the connection lines are still not printed in the document.

Is there any way?

The problem is that these unicode characters are not included in the default mono font. If you use an unicode-capable engine, such as xelatex, and a font which contains them, e.g. DejaVu Sans Mono, the will be visible in the document:

% !TeX TS-program = xelatex

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}


\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmonofont{DejaVu Sans Mono}

\begin{document}

\begin{Verbatim}
 .
 ├── app
 ├── bakery
 ├── build
 ├── CHANGELOG.md
 ├── composer.json
 ├── composer.lock
 ├── docker
 ├── sponsors
 ├── STYLE-GUIDE.md
 └── webserver-configs

 \end{Verbatim}

 \end{document}

If you prefer pdflatex, the pmboxdraw package can be used:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{pmboxdraw}

\begin{document}

\begin{Verbatim}
 .
 ├── app
 ├── bakery
 ├── build
 ├── CHANGELOG.md
 ├── composer.json
 ├── composer.lock
 ├── docker
 ├── sponsors
 ├── STYLE-GUIDE.md
 └── webserver-configs

 \end{Verbatim}

 \end{document}

  • Thank you very much! I use xelatex, but the default font is Times New Rome. I'll try to use the DejaVu Sans Mono. Thank you again! – yonggang.hu Mar 07 '19 at 13:06
  • @samcarter If I still want to use the default mono font, and for those unicode characters not supported, I want to draw them use a different font? i.e., I want use a substitute font only for those unsupported characters. Thanks! – bruin Nov 12 '19 at 08:11
  • @bruin Isn't this what the second approach does? Anyway if you have a new question, please ask a new question. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Nov 12 '19 at 09:17
